My advice, which is obviously based on what I enjoy in a game, so I don't expect everyone else to love it, but maybe it can give some ideas...
1) Focus on at least ONE story arc. Maybe just Ethan to start. Develop that story completely with all the options and story you can think of. That way we have SOMEONE to focus on, if we want.
2) Keep making our character a character. Are we a college student? If so, we should HAVE to go to class or flunk out. Pick a major/degree field. Why are we wanting to change people? How do we get the idea to change people? Have our skills to change people develop, too.
3) Do something with the fact you called this game VICEburg. Maybe this town engages in their vices to a more open extent than the general population. Make your title relevant to what we're doing!
Anyway, if this helps, great, if not, just keep doing what you're doing.
